As fall begins, so does our new history cycle. This year, we're kicking off the year with a study in Ancient History. Week One will be a study in creation and our first recordings of history and culture.

As you know, this can be a controversial topic, with both evolutionists and creationists clamping their hands over their ears and treating science like a religion.

Recently, I ran across a fascinating article written by a well-respected chemist who asserts that there is no scientist alive who can explain macroevolution.

Regardless of where you stand, it is important to use logic and to approach the topic with an open mind and not fanaticism. This article regarding two different approaches from two museums describes it well.
